In light of new information submitted to his office, Tulsa County District Attorney Steve Kunzweiler announced today there will be further investigation of the Tulsa County Sheriff's Office.
"I am highly concerned about recent allegations that have surfaced, and I have been in contact with independent law enforcement agencies regarding further investigation into these matters," said District Attorney Steve Kunzweiler in a statement. "To protect the integrity of these investigations, I will not give details or comment further on any investigation that is underway."
Kunzweiler's office has requested and received many documents from the sheriff's office since the April 2 shooting of Eric Harris.
Kunzweiler has charged 73-year-old reserve deputy Bob Bates with second-degree manslaughter in Harris' death.
Attorneys for the Harris family recently questioned inconsistencies in training records for Bates. The sheriff's office now says some of the records may have been lost when they transitioned from paper copies to digital.
